Default "Check Engine" light....

came on Monday afternoon. Due to illness I wasn't able to get the car in for service until yesterday. Turns out that both the O2-sensors had to be replaced.
Car is an 99.5-A4-QMS with about 18,000 miles.
The car also had an idle issue when coming to a stop, it would almost stall sometimes, the day before the "Check Engine" light graced my dash.

Service rep mentioned that Bosch is/was having issues with its O2-sensors of late but seems to have resolved the issue with the new parts.
Anyone else run across this?

Default Had same problem

Don't have tank almost empty, it happend to me because I wouldn't put gas until light comes on. Now I always go to the gas station earlier, and I never experience same problem.

Gas tank stays at least a 1/4 full. Running out of gas once was enough :-)
